Yesterday was one of those days.
Aly woke up way too early.
Which meant she was exhausted all day.
Which meant there were tantrums.
Tears.
Frustration.
More yelling than we’d like to admit.
And if we’re being honest, there were moments where Katie and I snapped at each other too.
Not our best day.
But one of the most valuable things we’ve learned in therapy is the idea of rupture and repair.
The rupture is the mistake.
The yelling.
The snapping.
The overreaction.
The missed workout.
The drive-thru lunch.
The weekend that went off the rails.
The repair is what happens next.
The apology.
The conversation.
The ownership.
The decision to try again tomorrow.
Because the rupture isn’t what does the damage.
It’s when we never repair it.
That’s true in parenting.
It’s true in marriage.
And it’s true in your fitness journey too.
One bad meal doesn’t ruin your progress.
One missed workout doesn’t erase your results.
One rough day doesn’t make you a bad parent.
The goal isn’t perfection.
The goal is getting really good at repair.
Today is a new day. 💛
